It took me the whole night to find a solution, so this should definitely be added to the OP:
By the way, you must use an RC6 receiver! This is not yet mentioned in this thread.
Problem:
The backlight of your Plasma or LCD interferes with your IR receiver.
If your TV backlight disturbs your IR receiver you will encounter the following problems:
Hint: The best way to test the remote is by using a text editor to visualize the input from your remote.
Solution:
Luckily the solution is very simple.
I wrapped the whole receiver in aluminum foil. (not pretty but effective)
Then I made a tiny hole in it and made it step wise bigger until the receiver receipted again the signal of my remote.
(May be testing other receivers is a solution too, but more expensive.)
Now it works really flawlessly. Every key press is recognized immediately.
Hope this will help some of you.
For me these values work:
Devices >> Media Center PC >> Settings >> Adjust the Delays (speed settings)
0/100/500 (100 and 500 are the default values)
Devices >> Media Center PC >> troubleshooting >> My Media Center PC is responding too slowly
100 (this is the same setting as the 100 above, it is not possible to have different values here and there)
Devices >> Media Center PC >> troubleshooting >> My Media Center PC responds to some commands either too many times or only occasionally.
0 (0 is definitely the right choice)

If your TV backlight disturbs your IR receiver you will encounter the following problems:
- key presses are not detected
- key presses are detected one, two or many many many times
- the reception LED of your receiver (if present on your model) is always on or flickering all the time
